Regulatory situation Under the tripartite work placement agreement, students retain their student status in accordance with the charter of April 2006 governing student business work placements. The student’s proposed mission must be approved by the educational supervisor from Rennes School of Business. ResearchIn writing an applied research dissertation students aim to develop managerial expertise by interpreting, analysing and redefining action models. The dissertation is with reference to a work placement and a career plan that are consistent with a specific activity sector and managerial role. An applied research dissertation should be thought of as a dissertation that aims to put forward the application of a selected action model. In order to do this students are required to understand the complex construction of businesses’ managerial action strategies.
